I would say to be very cautious when cutting things, because it could have a ripple effect which spreads and effects programs and services that society needs. It's easy to say as an example to cut the CBC, but then what about all of the artists/cultural services, as well as segments of society that benefit from having accessible news, and an avenue to show arts and culture? It often goes wrong, and that makes me skeptical. We have to nurture our government and democracy, and make sure that we have sustainable ways to pay for all of the services that we want, and that can include running deficits if it help keeps people afloat, as well as other things such as creating more opportunity with short-term spending.
